The New Jersey Film Festival's Georges Melies Retrospective this Thursday, September 12, 2013!!

The New Jersey Film Festival's Georges Melies Retrospective takes place this Thursday, September 12, 2013 at 6PM at Rutgers University!! 

George Méliès Retrospective
George Méliès was a French illusionist and filmmaker famous for leading many technical and narrative developments in the earliest days of cinema. Méliès, a prolific innovator in the use of special effects, discovered the substitution stop trick in 1896, and was one of the first filmmakers to use multiple exposures, time-lapse photography, dissolves, and hand-painted color in his work. Tonight we will screen a wide variety of his films including new prints of the classic A Trip To The Moon (1902), The Impossibel Voyage (1904), The Rubber Head (1902) and many others. The visionary and ground-breaking films of Méliès have received richly-deserved and renewed attention, following the release of Martin Scorsese’s feature film Hugo. 70 min.
